The 1905 Committee stands for civic engagement and accountability. Our purpose has always been, and remains, to hold Premier Danielle Smith accountable to the true conservative values she was elected to uphold.
Many see this weekend as a “defeat” for the 1905 Committee, but in reality, the exact opposite is true.
This is what success looks like.
1. Unprecedented Engagement: Over 6,000 Albertans attended the UCP AGM, marking the largest political gathering in Canadian history. This turnout shows a groundswell of civic participation.
2. Proof of Public Pressure: In the weeks leading up to the AGM, a rapid succession of legislative proposals was put forth, demonstrating that public pressure can drive meaningful results.
3. High Expectations Set: Due to this pressure, Danielle Smith has set a high bar of expectations and must now follow through with impactful and timely actions. The bar has never been higher.
4. Unwavering Conservative Support: With 91.5% support for the Premier, any cabinet minister or staff member who hinders the conservative mandate does so at their own peril. The mandate for conservative values is now indisputable.
5. A Moment for Bold Action: There has never been a better time for the Premier to act boldly and fulfill the promises made in her powerful speech.

Gladu has represented the riding of Sarnia—Lambton–Bkejwanong since 2015 and she won her seat handily in the 2025 election with 53.1 per cent of the popular vote. Gladu also ran for leadership of the Conservatives back in 2020.
She was also a strong supporter of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s leadership in 2022, having served as the Ontario co-chair for his campaign.
Speaking on background, a Conservative MP said Gladu’s defection from the party is “shocking” and has left the caucus stunned. They noted she was “one of the most anti-Liberal, anti-Mark Carney members of the caucus.”
As examples of her political stance, Conservative MPs pointed to Gladu’s record of opposing COVID-19 mandates, being ...
